Once you master the grain economy, you become the capitalist pig you swore to destroy!

STONKS ! I want to see the chicken swim ! :laughing: You did a really great job in 3 hours !

@thibaud-ligneul and @mikonow : Thanks you very much ! Love to see that the idea of capitilistic chicken work

Great work for three hours. Just wish the game got more difficult with time, it seems after planting some grain it is never an issue.

The hand-drawn graphics are very charming and the fact the chicken changes sizes depending on how close it is to the camera is a really nice touch.

I love this neat little game! It reminds me of the paper board games i used to create as a kid, with more capitalism. Great work for only three short hours :D

adonisdevs 2020-04-22 19:27

Pretty impressive! I really like the art :D

With all the grain, I think I have made some foie gras :)

Short and sweet, a breath of fresh air for those of us playing dozens of LD games. After one failed attempt i managed to become a seed entrepreneur capping out at 33 seeds per growth. Obviously it could be improved by adding more content, like buying another chicken or something but still a very good submission nonetheless.

Edit: Saw it was made in 3 hours, with that in mind it has a lot of content haha

I really like the art of the game, the use of blur highlights the important elements for the gameplay. The game would have deserved a little more polish but we know all the constraints of the compos...

I can't believe this was made in 3 hours! Really cool idea and game. The initial experience of not knowing just how much grain to give to the chicken or plant for seeds was really fun. The art and animations are really cool and feel unique.

A good result for three hours. It could of course use more content.

Great job in 3 hours, I appreciated the balance of growing wheat and feeding the chicken, keep it up! I can see this being a good potential

lajazuve 2020-04-23 15:05

l'effet de profondeur et l'animation de la poule sont trop cool, et Bravo pour ta demarche, parfois faut juste ce lancer et simple ne veut pas dire nul, certain chose peuvent etre affiné, mais l'aspect générale et le fun sont present et tres cool. peut etre balanced d'avantage, le besoin de plante/gain/besoin de la poule ? je ne sais pas . en tout cas bravo a toi !

empheon 2020-04-23 16:13

My chicken now has enough food for the rest of its life. Great job, love the art!

ribout-horace 2020-04-23 16:59

@lajazuve : merci ! Et oui, faut juste se lancer ! Mais oui, je voulais au moins ajouter le fait que la poule ponde des oeufs (j'ai l'asset d'oeufs) mais en 3h, c'est surtout du "je met ce que j'peux" xD En tout cas merci de ton commentaire !

@empheon : Your chicken will live as a king forever ! Grateful to see people enjoy my game !!

@axefall : yes, if I had a little more time, I would have add the feature so the chicken just make egg who became another chicken. (but time is sparce and so do the motivation sometime ;_;)

@hoyr : thanks! I hope I will not stumble to that art block in the next ludum and do something with really more content in it !

@zerohbeat : thank you ! I'm glad you enjoy the art and style ! I think i'm starting to get somewhere with this "style" (oh, but the drawing of the chicken is from my partner, not me >_< i cheat a little)

@adonisdevs : thank you !

@pandakipu : you monster ! Enjoy you meal as you can, the ckicken will get his revenge someday !

@blue-pin-studio : thanks and thanks for the edit xD Yes, I was planning of having an egg when you get one chicken full (and so, by evolution of time, you will reach an automatic equilibrium, with maybe, some dead chicken in the background....) but I lack of time... I hope next time will be better !

@obscenelytrue : thanks for the comment ! I add my incapacity to work and be motivate to the compo, but it warm my heart to see that it's still appreciate ! Thanks you ! (oh, and I cheat : my partner is the one who did the chicken drawing. But I did the game in 3 hours, so, I think it's fair... no ? Maybe ? Please ?)

ribout-horace 2020-04-23 17:11

@blobross : you have the best name ever and thanks for your comment ! it was sweet ! (and the next time, it will be a communist chicken, promise)

azathothep 2020-04-27 09:44

I'm really impressed of what you've managed to do in only 3 hours! The gameplay is fun enough, and... I love dat chicken xD It just lacks some sounds, and maybe a way to incentivize the player to put seeds on the right side (which I didn't do the first time, I had to read the controls to understand you could make seeds grow). But for a game made in such a short time, I take off my hat one more time, Horace! :tophat: :clap:

chao 2020-04-29 12:13

It almost seems like a waste to be making this much food just to feed a single chicken. I've got all this grain just kind of lying around on the ground, but my hen just can't eat it fast enough.

emil0227 2020-05-06 12:18

One of the most impressive games so far!! The concept of achiving a balance of the economy is really well designed. The art and graphic is vivid and just maches the game relly well! The game is simple but I can have a really tension and immersion when playing it. Great job in 3 hours : )

vfqd 2020-05-06 14:17

Would feed the chicken again 8/8 too much grain
